One Flew Over The Cockus Nest
The story of One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest takes place in a mental institution in the Pacific Northwest. Nurse Ratched, also known as “big nurse” dominates the institution. She thrives on being in control and gives off an impression that no one could ever take away her power. In the beginning of the novel the appearance of a new patient slowly begins to show that behind her inhuman actions there is some great instability.
